Description: "What could be more natural--or more hilarious--than culling the best "New Yorker cartoons about this great city? More than a hundred drawings spanning eight decades show New York as a place that captures the imagination and the melting pot of cultures, ideas, and emotions. In subways and skyscrapers, the residents of these cartoons rely on the good-natured stoicism needed to coexist with a demanding city. The brilliant cartoonists of the "New Yorker--including George Booth, Roz Chast, Leo Cullum, and Gahan Wilson--capture why people love and hate New York, sometimes simultaneously. It's a book that reveals the allure visitors feel for this city and shows the side of it that only true New Yorkers will ever know"--Publisher's description.
